Oil India Q4 net profit drops 21% on lower crude prices; FY25 sees record output and higher capex

State-owned Oil India Ltd on Wednesday reported a 21 per cent decline in its net profit for the January–March quarter of FY25, citing lower crude oil and natural gas prices as key factors behind the drop.

Despite the quarterly decline, Oil India achieved its highest-ever combined oil and gas production in FY25, reaching 6.71 million tonnes of oil equivalent, the company said in a statement.

Crude oil production during the year ended March 31, 2025, rose by 2.95 per cent to 3.458 million tonnes, while natural gas output increased by 2.20 per cent to 3.252 billion cubic meters.
